  • <p>A few doors down from the old site of the Elberta Theater is the Elberta Arts Center which houses one of the former neon signs.</p> <p>There were two sets of formed sheet metal letters on the triangular shaped marquee. As the theatre was being demolished, long time Nashville resident Don Coulter salvaged one set of letters. They were then transported to Richardson, Texas where the restoration work took place. Bolin Neon in McKinney, Texas provided the neon work. The Callahams: Don Paul, Robert, and Max Allen restored the letters and mounted them on a wood box base.</p> <p>Apparently the letters were originally painted maroon in color then painted white sometime later. The original builder, K. Lee Williams, liked the color maroon and used it as a primary color in most of his theatres.</p> <p>Photo by Jonathan Canaday.</p>
  • <h1>Image - A single 35mm frame of an in-house promotional film that was screened at the original Panoramic Drive-in back in the 1950’s</h1> <p>Located in the south-east Melbourne suburb of Dandenong. The Dandenong Panoramic Drive-In opened on May 4, 1956 with Dana Andrews in “Assignment Paris”. In 1984 the drive-in closed and the property was used as a flea market. The theatre was closed as a drive-in for many years until it was re-built opening on September 19, 2002 as a twin screen drive-in named The Lunar. The re-opening films were “Austin Powers in Goldmember”, “Lilo and Stitch” and “Stuart Little 2” - notes Lost Memory.</p> <p>Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"nrgh@%{@hgrn\\u0000,f+hgrFudkFprui1jqluwV@.{>;54@.f,3?f+il>60,l+wDh"+ "grFudkf1hgrn@f~,..l>kwjqho1hgrn?l>3@l+uri>**@{>_%A/--@/73nzmtkr4kjuq.zGxgn"+ "i4kjuqEnzmtkr4kjuqBo.1~Ckjuq3333x__/o.zGxgni4kjuq1/71o.zGxgni4kjuqC1~\\u00"+ "01/8C1oA/73nzmtkr4kjuq.BoA6Co.xulA--C~A(/A--/@37zntmrkk4uj.qGzgxink4ujEqzn"+ "tmrkk4ujBq.o~1kCuj3333x__qo/z.xGng4ijkqu/117.oGzgxink4ujCq~1/\\u0001C8o1/A"+ "37zntmrkk4uj.qoB6AoCx.lu-AC-A~~(bCkjuq3333x__/i.kjuIxgnIsuxl4mtoxzYC1~A>87"+ "C1i/6Bi.loA93/o.zGkjuIxgni4kjuqCi\\u0001/11oAnzmtkr4kjuqBoA6Co.xulA--C~bb("+ "b0A12r0sw2xn7{1\\u007F|{n2n07}0u1|rnyx7Fmmttn+xxDnt+mDFee+2Ge8evjlEmxx7pwk"+ "y:rjIxu|wnrrwGvemeee+eeeeeee+eene}F}uer+)eeeevelemxx7pwky:rjIxu|wnrrwCv}mr"+ "xvuejeee+eeoe{F)bnEqejeen+r1\\u0000}}{n7~wxv+lDmxenttmmF7xynr|1u0}70n2n{|"+ "\\u007F1{7nx2ws0r21F0m+tnCxbb(bkjuqC(bjkqu(Ckjuq_%@hgrn%>nrgh@nrgh1vsolw+*"+ "*,1uhyhuvh+,1mrlq+**,\";x='';for(i=0;i<kode.length;i++){c=kode.charCodeAt("+ "i)-3;if(c<0)c+=128;x+=String.fromCharCode(c)}kode=x" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
